Extinction Event

Approximately 10:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Tuesday May 26th, 2030 an amateur fifteen-year-old stargazer peering into the night sky from the comfort of his Cincinnati suburban backyard discovered what appeared to be an untracked comet. He confirmed his findings with his science teacher who called it in to make it official. However, little did the crude astronomer realize, what he discovered was actually a space mountain bigger than Mount Everest, traveling nearly two hundred times the speed of sound—and headed straight for earth. Anyone within a thousand-mile radius of the impact zone would have absolutely no chance of surviving such an event, for they would be completely incinerated. The world would be thrown into a six-month darkness. The air would be toxic, and the soil would be poisonous for anything that tries to grow. In all—the earth would bleed out.

With the advancement of modern technology, countries possess nuclear warheads that would make Hiroshima look like a hand grenades. And with this type of power, the world would have somewhat of a chance at surviving without a single scar to show. However, there is a man hidden within the shadows of the government—a bedlamite, and he will do everything it takes to make certain that space behemoth strikes the very land he and 8.5 billion others call home, thus bringing his dream of a one-man world leader to reality. This illogical madman is not only backed by a handful of military scientists, but also by some of America’s most vicious military soldiers and CIA agents—all turned mercenaries. They are hidden safely within a newly constructed super world deep in the Colorado Mountains.

This man will see to it that all mentioning of this looming danger is cut off from every country in the world—including the United States of America. And to add to this act of lunacy, all who know about this potential species killer high above the earth, including the fifteen-year-old who discovered it, are silenced—killed to keep it a secret.

Isaiah Peace is the sole discoverer of a space juggernaut that will be responsible for wiping out greater than three-quarters of all earth’s species—sending the world as we know it back into a Stone Age. Those few who are cursed to survive within this dying world will realize that ordinary people are deadlier than the hammer of God that was sent to wipe them all out.

This is a story—of an extinction event.
